Concept explainers
Interpretation: The first ionization energies of the given halogen atoms and the electronegativity of the fluorine tom has been given. The electronegativity values for the given halogens, with respect to the given formula, are to be calculated. These values need to be further compared with the stated electronegativity values for the given compounds.
Concept introduction: Electronegativity can be defined as the measure of the tendency of an electron to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself. It is directly proportional to the difference between the ionization energy and the
To determine: The electronegativity values of the given halogens; a comparison of these values with the values in the text.

Ch 7, Problem 106 and 108 First arrange the following groups of atoms in order of increasing size. Then arrange them in order of increasing order of first ionization energy. Explain your orders! Note: Simply stating the trend of "atomic radius increases down the periodic table" is not sufficient. Explain why. a. Rb, Na, Be b. Ве, С, О 2. a. How does electronegativity change as you go across the periodic table? Down the periodic table? Why? b. Hydrogen's location on the periodic table doesn't accurately reflect its relative electronegativity. Look at the Figure 8.3, which provides quantitative values for electronegativity (bigger number, more electronegative). If you were to place H between two elements on the 2nd row, where would it go? 3rd row? Etc. It is important to know where H fits into the trend so that you can predict dipole moments for X-H bonds.arrow_forward
